Even if you’re not a big makeup wearer on a regular day, date nights are a special occasion! Sometimes it’s fun to get a little bit dressed up for a night out with someone new. You’ll look and feel great! Check out these great date night makeup looks that are much easier to do yourself than you’d think!
Light, well-blended foundation and natural matte colors on the eyes contrast well with strongly filled out brows and a dark lip. The overall effect is minimal but with standout features.
Most people putting on regular daytime makeup forget about their lower lashes in favor of boosting their top ones. For date night, however, applying mascara and some subtle liner to your lower lashes will frame your eyes and draw attention to them.
Silver on the lids, pearly white on the brow bone, and black shaded in from the outer corners along the crease is a great sultry look for date night. The effect is especially impressive with a black waterline, blended black lower liner, and a lush false lash.
#1 The Natural Eye Makeup Look
If you have bright blue eyes, neutral tones look stunning. There is no need to go heavy with bright colors to show off your sparkly eyes. Earthy and neutral tones are striking and beautiful. If you do want to wear vibrant colors, you can add a luscious red lipstick, which will brighten up your appearance. Don’t be fooled by the basic color of the eyeshadow, trust us and try it. You will be surprised and you will love the natural look.
#2 Black White Eyeliner
It is wedding season and summer, so no doubt you will be invited to many parties. If you are looking for something different and striking for blue eyes, take a look at this look. By teaming black and white eyeliners, you will create a day-to-evening look that will look amazing throughout the day. Make sure you add the white eyeliner to your bottom waterline to open up your eyes. This is even a great look for festivals and just chilling on the beach!
Follow These 7 Steps To Get A Stunning New Look!
- Start by prepping your eyes by applying an eyeshadow primer to your lids. This will help your eyeliner stay in place and have a smoother application.
- Next, use a white eyeliner pencil to line your lower waterline. This will help brighten up your eyes and make them look wider.
- Use a small, pointed brush and a black gel or liquid eyeliner to create a thin line along your upper lash line. Start from the inner corner of your eye and extend the line outwards, creating a winged effect if desired.
- Using the same brush, add a small triangular shape to the outer corner of your upper eyelid. This will add a little bit of drama to the look.
- Use a white eyeliner pencil to draw a thin line along your lower lash line, extending it outwards slightly to create a winged effect.
- To finish off the look, use a black mascara to curl and add volume to your lashes.
- Make sure to blend the black and white eyeliner, so that the look is seamless and cohesive. And you are ready to go with your Black White Eyeliner Look.
#3 Pink Eye Makeup
Makeup artist Patrick Ta chose pink eye makeup to highlight Olivia Munn’s gorgeous green eyes. We like the monochromatic effect that resulted from matching her shadow with her blush and lipstick.
#4 Cat Eye Makeup Tutorial
“This timeless, feminine look never goes out of style,” says makeup artist Brynn Thomas. To get the look, “draw a thin line from the inside corner of your top lash line to the end of your lashes,” instructs hair and makeup artist Gabby Gabbitas. “Make the end a little thicker and flick it out to create a triangle shape.”
“This look works best for brides with heavier upper eyelids or brides who are worried that their eyes might look too small,” says Thomas. “A thinner line leaves more of your eyelid exposed; add a highlighting shadow to open up your eye area.”
6 Steps To Create This Look at Home
- Start by prepping your eyes by applying an eyeshadow primer to your lids. This will help your eyeshadow stay in place and have a smoother application.
- Next, use a neutral eyeshadow shade as a base colour on your entire eyelid, up to your crease. This will help even out your skin tone and provide a blank canvas for the rest of the eyeshadow.
- Using a small, precise brush, apply a dark, matte eyeshadow shade to the outer corner of your eye and along your crease. This will create a subtle “cat eye” effect.
- Next, use a medium-sized brush to apply a shimmery eyeshadow shade to the center of your eyelid, bringing it up to just below the crease. This will add some sparkle and dimension to your eye makeup.
- Using a small, pointed brush, apply a black eyeliner to your upper lash line, extending it outwards slightly to create a winged effect. Then apply a coat of mascara to your lashes.
- Finish off the look by applying a pair of false lashes, or by layering on more mascara if you prefer a more natural look. Remember to blend the lashes with your real lashes. And you are ready to go with your Cat Eye Makeup look.
